Transferring Data From Camcorder You are now presented with five options for working with Video files. Since we want to capture some Video and then burn to DVD, choose Create Video Disc. The Create Video Disc starts a new project for capturing your Video. A new dialog box pops up with four tabs: Capture, Edit, Add Menu, Make Movie. At this point attach your Digital Camcorder to the PC using a USB 2.0 cable. One end of the cable plugs into the camcorder, the other to a USB 2.0 port.

DVD Players and VCR Captures If you are capturing from another source, such as a VCR or DVD Player, plug in your device to your computer's capture card or external capture device using either digital or analog cables Click on the Capture tab at the top of the dialog box, and WinDVD Creator should recognize your Capture Card or Capture Device. Play your Video from your source device, and click Record to capture your video clip. Click Stop when you are finished recording and your video file will appear in the clips bin as an MPEG-2 file.

Editing Your Video After stopping the recording click on the Edit tab. You can edit your clips here, adding titles, filters or transitions. Once the clip(s) are edited, drag your clip(s) to the clips bin where it says "Drag & Drop clip here". Once finished, click on Save Movie to save your Video to the Computer's Hard Drive Once that is done you can click on the Add Menu tab and customize the DVD Menu any way you would like for your Video.

Creating a DVD Menu Using the different tabs and buttons in this dialog box, you can change the menu background, add chapters, add background music to your menu, or add text to the menu. Once the DVD Menu is created and the Video clip(s) are added to the Menu, you're ready to burn to DVD. Click on the Make Movie tab, click on Burn to Disc and then click the Arrow under the burn to disc option.

Burning Your DVD A new screen pops up that allows you to choose your DVD Burner as the destination device, as well as the burning speed for the DVD. I choose Optimal speed. Again, click the Arrow to move on to the next step. The next screen lets you choose the quality of your recording, from low to high. Once you've chosen your quality setting, click Start to burn your Video to DVD. After the DVD has finished recording, remove it from the DVD drive and close the Intervideo WinDVD Creator program. The DVD is now ready to be viewed on your computer or DVD Player.
